Kuminga, Thompson help Warriors rebound to upend Spurs 112-102 despite Wembanyama’s strong return

SAN ANTONIO — Jonathan Kuminga scored 21 points, Klay Thompson added 20 and the Golden State Warriors overcame a sluggish start to beat the San Antonio Spurs 112-102 on Monday night.

With Stephen Curry still out with a sprained right ankle, Thompson returned to the starting lineup. Thompson was 8 for 21 from the field, including 4 for 10 on 3-pointers.

Golden State (34-30) has won nine of its past 10 road games and prevented San Antonio from completing a road-and-home sweep.

After beating the Warriors 126-113 on Saturday without Wembanyama and Devin Vassell, the Spurs could not sustain a balanced effort with their top two scorers back.

Vassell had 17 points and Keldon Johnson added 16 for San Antonio.

“They made 51% of their 3s last game,” Golden State guard Brandin Podziemski said. “Tonight, holding them to 38% was definitely a big…
